About this tour

Guided tour from 4 to 12 November 2026

Between the whitewashed villages of Andalusia and the dramatic limestone peaks of the Sierra de Grazalema lies one of Spain’s most captivating walking regions. This journey leads you through a landscape where nature feels raw and alive: deep green valleys, silent fir forests, rocky summits, soaring vultures, and the iconic pueblos blancos perched like jewels among the mountains.

Your adventure begins in Grazalema, a charming white village embraced by rugged peaks and famous for its untouched natural beauty. From here, each day offers a new discovery: the mysterious Pinsapar forest—home to ancient Spanish firs found nowhere else on earth; the panoramic heights of El Simancón and El Reloj; peaceful cork oak forests where cattle and sheep graze undisturbed; and winding valleys that lead from one village to the next, each with its own character and warm Andalusian charm.

As the journey unfolds, the scenery gradually softens. Wide meadows and rolling hills guide you toward the legendary city of Ronda, one of Spain’s most spectacular historic towns. Here, dramatic cliffs, elegant architecture, centuries of culture, and a vibrant tapas scene bring a perfect finale to the week.

This is a walking holiday that blends variety, authenticity, and natural splendour: from tranquil woodland to high mountain ridges, from remote paths to lively village squares. With comfortable accommodation, delicious local cuisine, and the guidance of an experienced Dutch-speaking guide, you’ll experience Andalusia at its finest—slowly, deeply, and on foot.
